Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, many remand prisons are long-established in such locations. If villagers feel fear or need clarifications, we should address them. We can discuss and, if necessary, arrange for a police post as requested. Hon.
